THE TRUNK JUGGLER BILLY SKAGGLY'S BAGGAGE SMASH ING AT PRAIRIE JUNCTION. How a Broke ti Handle on One Big: Trunk Cansen an Occident That Ended His "Bouncing Them Over" Transfer System at Tha? Station. "It has always seemed tc me that about the slickest thing in the way of trank juggling that I ever saw, " said an old railroad man, "w?s something that a baggage man named Billy Skag gly nsed to do at a place called Prairie Junction on the M. N. and T. road. Billy was running then on the old G., X. and Q., which was at that time an independent line, but practically a branch of. the M. X. and T. coming in at Prairie Junction, running along back of the station at an angle and striking the M. N. track 100 feet or more to the west. This inclosed a sort of a Y shaped open space, like a V lying down flat, be tween their track on one side and the station and the M. N. track on the oth er, the widest part being back of the station. This part was planked over . from the station to th? G. X. track, making a bread platform there, and when trains came in on the G., X. and Q. a man used to. roll a baggage truck across this platform to the baggage car, and they'd get the baggage out oh it. and then he'd Toll it back 'across the broad platform to the station. "That's the way they were doing there before Billy came^-tbe way they ' do it under like circumstances every where. But Billy said that was all a waste of time, labor and trouble, and he soon put into operation here a trans fer system of bis own by which he easi ly put the trunks over alone. "The trains on the G. X used to halt with the baggage car right back of the rear door of the station. From the door of the station to the door of the car was maybe 50 feet. Billy could throw a trunk as far as any other man lever knew-I don't know but what farther. But he couldn't throw a loaded \Saratoga that distance, and what he used to do waa to bound 'em over. He made fast in the middle of the platform a thick rubber cushion about as big as a doormat. "Where he learned how to do this or how he got the skill he had I don't know. He may have 'had a run some where before where there was a plat form like'that to cover, or it maybe that he invented the system to meet this situation and then practiced up somewhere with a blank till he could hit the marie, but certain .it is that he could stand in the door of his baggage car and throw a trunk in such a man ner that it would land with one comer on the bouncing pad and bound up and on plumb through the back door of the station every time. "I was running then on the M. N. on a train that stopped at Prairie Junc tion, and we used to meet Billy's train on the branch, and often I've looked out down back of the station, where the branch came in. to see Billy bonne - ing the' trunks After he'd got 'em started he'd keep two in the air all the - time, starting one on its arched course through the air from the car door to the pad before the trunk ahead had dis appeared through the door of the bag gage room. And this went along just as nice and comfortable as could he till, as usual, something happened. "Billy pulled down from the stack in the car one day and rolled along on its end io the car door a big, massive trunk, marked 'Shakes; Handle With Care.' Billy had seen the words 'Handle. With Care' before, and he had also heard . of trunks being marked 'Snakes, ' 'Dy namite' and that sort bf thing, and so the marks on. this massive trunk did. not impress him strongly. He hustled it along to the doorway, seized it by the handle, lifted it and launched it through the air. "Very likely this was the first trunk that Billy ever missed the mark with, and I don 't suppose he'd have missed - with this one if the handle hadn't broken just as he let go of it, but it missed the pad by about an inch and a half and : came down on the hard platform with a bang that busted that corner wide open. Even as it was, the trunk bound ed well up lato the air. It had rubber knobs on its corners to protect it and the plank it struck on was springy, but it didn't bound toward the station dcor. It was deflected at another angle, and as it rose snakes began dropping out of its busted, lower corner. "A man, who could easily have got ont of the way but for the fact that he/was sort of fascinated by the sight of the faBihg, snakes, waa knocked down by the* flying trunk and bad-his leg broken. This accident broke up Billy's transfer system at Prairie Junction. The super said they,were proud of Billy as a baggage tosser,1 but that, that one mishap had cost 'ein in' one way and another more than the hire of a man to carry the baggage across would cost them for five years, and the first thing I knew the bouncing pad had been taken up and the man was back with the baggage truck, rolled up in front of the baggage car door in the old familiar way. "-Chicago Inter Ocean. A Faithful Dos;. The Paris Figaro relates a touching souvenir of the poet De Musket, as men tioned by the poet's governess, Mme. Adele Colin Martellet, who has pub lished her memoirs. The poet had a small dog named Marzo. After the poet died, the dog, supposing him absent, continued to await his return at the same hour every evening for a period of seven years, when it also died. .Mme. Martellet's husband took the dog to Anteuil to be buried and found some workmen engaged . in digging out a new street. The faithful dog was buried by the men, and the street in which the animal's remains were laid is called the Rue de Musset. There is a time for all things.

That a man on the rack, with every nerve quivering, with every nerve drawn to its ntmost tension, with the pain increasing in intensity and vio lence, should confess himself the per petrator of crime is natural enough. The prospect of relief frcm actual pain is a temptation that blinds the sufferer to the future. But it may seem strange, and is indeed one of the most inexplica ble things in human history, that men have been induced by religious exhorta tions, and other means of persuasion to sign*their own death warrants by con fessing crimes actually never commit ted. Such in England was the case of John Perry, executed near Campden in 1661, with his mother and brother, for murdering William Harrison, steward for Lady Campden. The testimony against them was chiefly the confession of John Perry himself, but, to the as tonishment of all,. Harrison, who had been kidnaped and carried off, return ed two years after the execution. In 1813 a man named Bussell Colvin, living at Manchester, Vt., disappeared, and suspicions of foul play were enter tained. Public opinion, attributed his murder to Stephen and Jesse Booro. Still, as there was no definite ground on which to arrest them, the excitement gradually drew away. In 1819, how ever, a Mr. Boom dreamed that he had been murdered by two men, whom he fixed upon as his nephews, Stephen and Jesse. The ghost of the murdered man even specified the place of the murder and the old cellar hole where the man gled body had been thrust. Here a knife and buttons were found, which, were identified as belonging to Colvin. On this the men were arrested. Stephen and Colvin had quarreled just before the disappearance ? of the latter, and Stephen had been seen to strike him with a club and knock him down.. In a short time Jesse confessed that he and Stephen, with their father, after Stephen knocked him down, had carried him to the old cellar and cut bis throat with a jackknife. He further stated that the next year they made away with most of the bones of their victim. Stephen, after a time, admitted the truth of Jesse's confession. On this they were convicted and sentenced to be hanged on the 28th of January, 1820. They applied for commutation of the sentence, and, as some believed their innocence, advertisements were inserted in various papers for Colvin. Not long afterward a letter appeared in the New York Evening. Post, signed -by a Mrs. Chadwick and dated Shrewsbury, N. J., Dec. 6, 1819, stating that a slightly deranged man named Bussell Colvin had been there five years before.' Thie was generally looked upon as a hoax, but James Whelpley of New.' YjOrk, who knew Colvin, resolved to follow up the clew and actually found Colvin at the house of William Polhemus at Dover, N. J., where he had been since April. 1813: (Mr. Whelpley took him to New York, the common council gave him means to proOceed to Vermont, and he arrived at Manchester on tbe 22d day of December. The whole place was in a state of wild excitement. People gathered in from all the surrounding country to see the dead alive. A cannon was brought ont, and Colvin was saluted with a dis cbarge of cannon and small arms, Stephen Boom firing the first piece. There was much discussion as. to the motive for the confession, some attribut ing it to the effect of imprisonment, a general sort of; panic and terror, and others to the injudicious advice and ex hortations of a clergyman.-Wonderful Events. ? College Girls' Slang. College girls have a language of their own that is not contained in the ologies and isms pf student life. That use of "grand" at Vassar col lege spread like a contagions disease a few years ago. Everything from a new gown to the award of a fellowship re ceived the magnificent appellation. That was a season of grandiloquence in other respects also, for no entertain ment less than a "ball" was ever given at the college. If you went to the senior parlor in response to an invitation to a "ball," you would probably find that some one was serving tea. Both to Vassar and to Yale belong the word "stunt," but it is used in quite different senses. At- Vassar it means a peculiar trick that belongs to a certain individual At Yale it stands for any idea or plan. Where girls "dig," Harvard and Yale men "grind" or "bone;" where one "frivols" the other "sprees it." ? Bryn Mawr has a peculiar slang term of its own for the girls who do not en ter with a regular class, but come in at the middle of the year. They are known as "half breeds" to the end of their course.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib une. Late Preparation For Wedded Lil?.

Condition of New Cotton Crop. Cotton is in a fairly satisfactory con dition in nearly every portion of the belt, and the reports of insect ravages, grassy fields, and injury from drought or excessive rains are less numerous than usual at this season of the year. In North Carolina planting is nearly completed andchoppingabout finished, with the weather conditions favorable for the growth of the plant. In South Carolina the cool weather was unfavorable for cotton, which is making slow growth, and in a few lo calities is infested by lice. Late plant ings not up. Sea island cotton has good stands. In Georgia cotton has been damaged somewhat by worms, and the nights were a little too cool, hut with anything like a favorable season cotton will give a good yield. In Florida the greater portion of the State was visited by refreshing show ers, which greatly improved cotton. In Alabama cotton was much bene fited by the rains, and, although ?t is still small, and its growth was some what checked by the cool nights, it is clean and well cultivated and looks promising. In Mississippi the nights were too cool in most sections for the satisfac tory growth of cotton. Some cotton is being plowed and looks fair; late cotton is very unsatisfactory and much replanting has been done. The stand for early planted has been variously reported but in the main it is good. In Louisiana, cotton that was planted while there was yet moisture enough in the ground to germinate the seed, is of a healthy color and the fields are free from grass and weeds. The recent copious rains will undoubtedly greatly improve the condition of late planted cotton, and cause seeds that lay dor mant to come up. In Texas cotton has made good growth and is in an excellent state of cultivation, except in some localities over the northern portion of the State, where the ground has been too wet for proper cultivation and the crop is very foul. Planting continues to some ex tent over th?> northern portion, while over the southern portion the piantis well advanced and forming squares. In Arkansas heavy rains in the early part of the week greatly retarded farm ing operations. Cotton is nearly all planted, except in overflowed districts, where replanting is delayed by wet condition of the ground. Cotton, gen erally, is up, the stand only fair on ac count of defective seed and damage by cutworms. In some localities in the southern tier of counties, where weath er has been moro favorable for the growth and cultivation of the crop, the early planted is beginning to limb and squares are forming. In some sections the grass is very bad. In Tennessee cotton has not only suffered from the ravages bf cutworms, but the cool nights have militated greatly against its normal growth. Bad stands are reported generally throughout a large portion of the dis trict. In Oklahoma cotton is making nor mal growth, hut on account of delay in getting the crop in the ground, it is generally small and late. The early planted is doing well. - A young man who had been con verted at a north Methodist camp meeting declared that all pride and self-conceit had been taken out of his heart. To prove it he said he would go down in the audience and kiss an old colored woman. As he went down the aisle the old colored woman rose to her feet and said : "Look aheah, man, you may not have no pride, but I is. I ain't gwine to let no man Hobsonize me hearbefoh all dese white folks." - The postoffice department has been overwhelmed with applications from communities throughout the country to name their postoffices ^Dew ey."

So many people die from Cancer simply be MERP PIMPS cause they do not know just what the disease is; mCnC rimfLLui they naturally turn themselves over to the doctors, and are forced to subirait to a cruel and dangerous operation-the only treatment which the doctors know for Cancer. The disease promptly returns, however, and is even more violent and destructive than before. Cancer is a deadly poison in the blood, and an operation, plaster, or other external treatment can nave no effect whatever upon it. The cure must come from within-the last vestige of poison must be eradicated. Mr. Wm. Walpole, of Walshtown, S. D., says: "A little blotch about the size of a pea came under my left eye, gradually growing larger, from which shooting pains at intervals ran in all directions. I became greatly alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it Cancer, and advised that it be cut out, but this I could not con sent to. I read in my local paper of a cure effected by S. S. S., and decided to try it. It acted like a charm, the Cancer becoming at first irritated, and then discharging $ very freely. This gradually grew less and then discon ? tinued altogether, leaving a small scab which soon drop ped off. and now only a healthy little scar remains where j what threatened to destroy my Ufe once held full sway." Positively the only cure for Cancer is Swift's Specific 8. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD -because it is the only remedy which can go deep enough to reach the root of the disease and force it out of the system permanently. A surgical operation does not reach the blood-the real seat of the disease-because the "blood can not be cut away. Insist upon S. 8. S. ; nothing can take its place. S. S.
